Art students and professionals

You can tell the type of paper by touch. You are sensitive to colour, grain and softness: it is the foundation of your composition. As an everyday companion it must be reliable and meet your requirements: its quality must be consistent in order to facilitate your work, your own personal style and expression, and enable you to achieve the best results at the lowest cost.
Thanks to chemical progress, colour manufacturers today offer shades which are much more intense and luminous than in the past. CLAIREFONTAINE makes its fine art papers by merging classic tradition, almost hand-made, with the most modern techniques. To meet your requirements our engineers have been improving manufacturing methods and formulas to develop quality papers perfectly adapted to these new colours.
We guarantee the archival quality of our papers and offer a huge range adapted to each technique: charcoal, red chalk, pastel, ink, watercolour, gouache, acrylic, oil….
Our paper is available in many different formats, bindings and packs: from loose sheets to thick economical blocks for use without moderation, to pocket pads to carry about with you, always ready to sketch something which takes your fancy.
